King Henry VIII
- Thomas Cromwell: It lies within my power to make Your Majesty still more prosperous yet.
- Henry VIII: But how would I ever reward you, Crom? You have it all: the Privy Seal, the Garter, Vicar General, the earldom of Essex and Lord Chamberlain. What more could I do for you?
- Thomas Cromwell: Your Grace might box my head at times.
- Henry VIII: [gives a huge laugh and playfully slaps Cromwell on the face] That would not be seemly. But I'm keeping his Lordship from his business.
- Thomas Cromwell: Your Grace.
- Henry VIII: Whom can a man trust in this world when there is nothing real in it?
- [showing Cromwell a miniature portrait of Anne of Cleves]
- Henry VIII: Is this a true likeness?
- Thomas Cromwell: Yes, sire, I think.
- Henry VIII: Where are the great pits in her face?
- Thomas Cromwell: She has a queenly manner, I think, sire.
- Henry VIII: I like her not!
- [shoving and shaking Cromwell]
- Henry VIII: She is nothing fair and I like her not!
